"A Sina do Aventureiro" (meaning "The Adventurer's Fate"), is the first feature of the Brazilian filmmaker José Mojica Marins, o Zé do Caixão (Joe Coffin). The melodramatic story of redemption and revenge follows the style of the Mexican melodramas of the 50's or Brazilian soap opera, but with a good screenplay and narrative. Unfortunately Brazil does not preserve the culture and the movie is completely damaged, inclusive it is hard to follow in some parts. This movie deserved to be restored to keep our history. The art of the DVD is fantastic. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "A Sina do Aventureiro" ("The Adventurer's Fate")
